2.0 out of 5 stars For old Pixter games only -- NOT the new Color Pixter, October 11, 2004

I purchased this item for the color Pixter my son received for his birthday. However, the color Pixter is a completely different shape, and therefore, made this one unusable. I hope that they come out with a color version, I like the idea of being able to hold the game and a few cartridges together -- especially for travel.

Click on the photo of the item for two photos of how the case looks, especially how it opens like a book when fully zipped open.

This is a semi-rigid molded plastic case for the Pixter (sold separately, of course). It is not waterproof or water resistant, but its construction does not allow for the absorption of water by the outer shell. The inside has a very thin coating of fleece-like material, but is not padded. There is a single semi-rigid flap inside the case which serves as a sort of door to close over the software cartridges and hold them in place, whether the case is open or closed. The flap does not lock or stick in place--Fisher-Price would have been very smart to apply a simple hook-and-loop closure to keep this flap closed (I glued one into the case myself). Let's hope they're wise enough to provide this in future models.

The primary advantage of this case is that it also carries up to 3 of the software cartridges. My daughter knows from experience that the case also is capable of holding the Pixter instruction booklet as well as the instruction booklets of the software cartridges, although there are no specific slots/pockets for this purpose.

Note that contrary to the manufacturer's write-up, this case does not have a "carry-strap handle." The photo for the item is accurate in showing that there is only a large plastic clip. There is neither a handle nor a carrying strap for this item. The zipper is large and engages easily, and is not part of the clip strap.

In summary, this is a smart collateral purchase when you get a Pixter, a good way to keep numerous small ancillary pieces of equipment (and instructions) organized and together so that they do not get lost or broken. If the Pixter is used during travel, this is an essential accessory.

how frustrating to find that there is NO travelling case for the pixter color. Did FP think that they wouldn't sell ? Such a relatively expensive, sensitive, in the hands of children-toy and not to offer a simple case. OH well - big companies continue to amaze us with their creativity and lack of it at the same time.
